Anything from window shopping to spending some great time at the mall with your girlfriends can be the best moments of a woman's life.
For most women, shopping can be a compulsive or mostly an impulsive decision. Compulsive is a regular - HAVE TO shopping binge, a much needed emotional counterpart, an adrenaline high and something to talk about. Impulsive shopping is when you accompany someone and have no particular reason to buy something but still pick it up for the heck of it - because it entered your line of vision.
Both types bring a smile to anyone's face as long as they are under control. There's a simple OLD saying - Excess of Anything is BAD.
Here are some easy ways to check if your shopping is bordering on the danger zone called SHOPOHOLISM.
- Spending over budget.
- Compulsive buying - the have to keep buying syndrome
- Hiding the problem as in hiding your purchases
- A vicious circle - you feel guilty about dumb purchases
- Impaired relationships - you keep fighting with your partner over the shopping
- Clear consequences - guilt, fights, low finances, etc.
Some of these might be true for most people - but if 3 or more are TRUE then Lady or Gentleman you HAVE a real Challenge! Check THIS and you can get back to some happy shopping.
Happy Ugadi Shopping - I just started mine today (and thus some realistic checks on my shopping personality). I'm safe for now - hope you are too!!!
